Point Five Gully, Ben Nevis 8/3/10
John enjoying the superb 2nd pitch of Point Five Gully, Ben Nevis
Despite the fine weather and conditions it felt like a quiet day on the North Face of Ben Nevis....unless you wanted to do the Orion Face or Minus Gullies that is. John and I sought relative solitude on the little know Point Five Gully!
Conditions were good with a well ploughed furrow marking the way, belay ledges and cornice exit - no route finding problems on Point Five!
All the Minus Gullies were done and various teams climbed (and soloed) the Orion Face and Zero Gully. The recent thaw had 'tidied' the lower mountain up a bit and you could produce a fine photo topo for the CIC Hut Ice crag at the moment. No teams were on Observatory Buttress but the ice is building...
